Curious? What is the weirdest thing you have fond on your trapline. I found an old dump full of old blue Milk of Magnesa bottles in the middle of nowhere in the woods with no roads anywhere near

Those bottles have a beautiful blue color and are worth decent money. I always kept them when I found an intact one.

I caught a leucistic ground hog.

Me and my sister were walking in the woods when we found a bike sitting next to a tree in the middle of nowhere. The bike had obviously been there for some time.

There is some strange things in the woods.

The wild Savell
You have to snare them or bodygrip.
If you foothold one it will cut its foot off with a broken lonestar bottle and escape.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Found a purse under a bridge, went through it and found my aunts drivers license. Someone had stolen her purse, took the cash and change and thrown it out the window over a bridge, missed the water and I found it there months later.

It's not exactly t-man appropriate. Let's just say somebody was cooking up something highly inedible and I found the remnants of their camp...troopers were notified

When I was doing ADC work on some bird clubs years ago, I set up on a large skunk den close to a canal, nothing looked out of order.

Came back the next evening to check it and found some one had stuffed large drug stash in one of the openings or I missed when setting, yes I pulled it out and moved it over to another hole further away, came back the next day had a small skunk waiting so walked over to the stash tree and it was gone, thank the lord, did not want to be dealing with that for another month !

Found a Pistol on another club about a year later just out in the field, someone must have dropped it or it fell out some how and it had been there quite a while, just a 22, can't even remember the model make was a revolver, still got it some where !

While trapping beaver along a drainage ditch what I found discarded on the ditch bank at the intersection of the ditch and highway I can only describe as having two heads.... and that's all I can say about that.

Walking through a very large field I decided to take a break and to sit down next to a rock on the edge of the field. When I sat down I sat right on a very old No 2 Blake and Lamb under spring trap. What are the chances of this happening again 😊

Been some threads like this before and I am always interested in reading them. Hope some of the people posting stories from the past will post again.

A boat made from antique car hoods. I found the boat about 1/2 in from the nearest road and about 100yds from the creek.

Found an old chest freezer once, opened it and it was full of dead fully feathered rotting chickens.

Found another local trappers wallet wedged in a beaver dam. The strange part was the drivers license had been expired for 4 years. Gave him the wallet back and he said he rembered losing that wallet 6 years prior.

Can't contribute as I trap my property and have not run up on anything "weird" yet

But I enjoy reading these type of threads

Ive seen some very odd tracks from something on two legs with massive feet and a 5’ gait walking in deep snow. No hair or toe prints, it looked like an extra extra large set of my skin boot prints. This was back in the winter of 2011. Similar tracks were found by a cousin of mine that same winter walking out of the flats into the mountains.
